The painting I am drawing

The painting I am drawing is a lighthouse next to a house that is white and kind of grey. I don’t know what the painting is called. In the painting there is a lot of land and for my opinion its very nice because of the different things in the painting. This painting has been drawed by Edward Hopper. He is a great artist and he is American.
